Most exciting fighter - Nick Diaz

Event of the Year - UFC 129: GSP vs Shields ($12,075,000 gate)
Runner up - UFC On Fox: Velasquez vs Dos Santos (8.8 million peak viewers in US)

Greatest achievement - Jon Jones finishes four top 5 ranked opponents.

Idiot of the Year - Dana White (Says guys beating Fedor in Strikeforce are basically cans, after they had bought Strikeforce. Takes Diaz off of headliner vs GSP for not showing up to press conference. Fires Miguel Torres for making a tweet about rape vans, after not disciplining Forrest Griffin and Rashad Evans for doing the same thing, then makes his own rape joke on twitter.)

Robbery of the Year - Gegard Mousasi vs. Keith Jardine
Runner ups: James Thompson vs Mariusz Pudzianowski (Later changed to a no contest), Omigawa vs Elkins

Worst event letdown - UFC 129. Goes from GSP vs Diaz and BJ vs Condit, to GSP vs Condit and BJ vs Diaz, to just BJ vs Diaz.
Runner Up: The Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix

Best impersonation of Sloth from the Goonies - Mark Hominick's hematoma courtesy of Jose Aldo (Picture)

Comeback Fighter of the Year - Mark Hunt: snaps 6 fight losing streak with a walk off KO of Tuchscherer and a win over Ben Rothwell.

Biggest waste of a year - Ricardo Arona. Another year of saying he's coming back and not actually doing anything.

Biggest fight that never happened - GSP vs Diaz

Worst injuries of the year - Shane Carwin's face post-JDS (pic)
Julia Budd's arm (pic)
Big Nog's arm post-Murrr (pic)
Keith Jardine's face post-Mousasi (pic)

Best consecutive finishes of the year - Shinya Aoki neck cranks Beerbohm, Clementi and McCullough in a little over 5 months time.

Beatdown of the year - Tie: Jimy Hettes vs. Nam Phan, Nate Diaz vs. Donald Cerrone & Alistair Overeem vs. Brock Lesnar. All from last week's fights.

Best come-uppance of the year - Mark Hominick doesn't disengage after touching gloves with Korean Zombie and gets KO'd in 8 seconds. (GIF)

General "Worst" of the year - Watching Japanese MMA's continual collapse.

Best quote of the year - "Wanderlei, you are an immigrant from Brazil. I am a gangster from America. Are you sure you wanna play that game with me? Listen Wanderlei, I will do a home invasion on you. I will cut the power to your house and the next thing you'll hear is me climbing up your stairs in a pair of night vision goggles I bought in the back of Soldier of Fortune magazine. I'll pick the lock to the master room door, take a picture of you in bed with the Nogueira brothers working on your "jiu-jitsu". I'll take said photograph, post it at www.dorksfrombrazil.com, password - not required, username - not required. That, Wanderlei, is how you threaten someone. Dummy." - Chael Fucking Sonnen
Runner ups: "It's NorCal. Sorry... It's NorCal" - Nick Diaz
me screaming "Put him in a bodybag, Sponge! YEAH!" and it being audible on Showtime at Strikeforce: Fedor vs Henderson

everybody puts Jackson so I didn't want to use him lol. And I was going to use Cesar but then I realized GSP beat Jake and Rory Mac beat Nate.
Plus I don't know if Nova Uniao has a main trainer, otherwise it would be him.
